From: Structural alterations in the prefrontal cortex mediate the relationship between Internet gaming disorder and depressed mood

Figure 3

Mediation analysis to explore the neural substrates influencing the relationship between the lifetime usage of Internet gaming and depression. Structural alterations in (a) the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), not (b) right nucleus accumbens (NAcc), showed a mediating effect on the association between prolonged Internet gaming and depressed mood in the Internet gaming users. *Significant at P < 0.05.
